Vocals/guitar, violin/backing vocals/percussion. We also have an option to add bass guitar or a second string instrument.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We try our best to be as flexible as possible to help ensure the event runs smoothly. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event then just let us know :)
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
We can absolutely provide a DJ service in between sets. Our PA is able to connect to phone/ipod player. Please discuss with us prior to the day if you have a specific requests, otherwise we will play whatever feels suitable.
How much time do you need to set up?
We usually set up about 1.5 - 2 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!
Can you roam around while you perform?
Yes - we either perform acoustically or with microphones attached to our instruments so we can move around freely.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Our setlists are designed based on prior performances and knowledge of what works best in these settings. However, we offer a free video consultation before the big day in order to discuss the style of music you would like. We can also do three songs at your request.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Our PA system is included in your quote. We usually require a minimum of 2.5m x 2.5m space to perform
Can you learn song requests before the event?
If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. We are happy to learn up to three special songs for you. This is particularly useful for choosing songs for the ceremony.
